Maple Old Fashioned Cocktail

This simple reworking of a classic Old Fashioned replaces the sugar with Maple Syrup. It works with the natural maple and caramel sugar profile already in the Knob Creek to create a simple yet warm and rich golden flavoured version of the drink.

Ingredients

45mls Knob Creek 9yo

15mls Maple Syrup

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Garnish: Flamed orange zest

Glass: Old Fashioned tumbler

Method

Stir 15mls of the bourbon with four ice cubes in a glass.

Add maple syrup and Angostura bitters and four more ice cubes.

Stir some more and add another four ice cubes and the rest of the bourbon.

Stir lots more so as to melt the ice, and then add fresh ice to complete the drink.

The melting and stirring of ice cubes is essential to the dilution and taste of this drink.
